Question

1. according to greek mythology, which god or goddess stopped growing things when persephone was kidnapped?

zeus
demeter
posiedon
apollo

Explanation:

In Greek mythology, Demeter is the goddess of agriculture, harvest, and fertility. When her daughter Persephone was kidnapped by Hades, Demeter was so grief - stricken that she stopped the growth of plants, leading to a time of barrenness (the origin of the seasons myth, as her mood and actions related to Persephone's abduction affected the natural world's growth). Zeus is the king of the gods, Poseidon is the god of the sea, and Apollo is the god of the sun, music, etc., and none of them are associated with stopping the growth of things due to Persephone's kidnapping.

Answer:

B. Demeter
